This opening track to the film "Summer of 84." Encapsulates that feeling of suspicion and unease when you're not sure of what to trust. 

It's one of my favorite tracks in the film and has not to my knowledge been covered yet.

All rights go to "Le Matos" and "Computer Magic."

Cold Summer Cover

This piece in the same film "Summer of 84." Gives me one of the most bittersweet, and haunting feelings ever experienced in a horror film.  The climax of the scene it goes with makes it that much more effective.  

Naturally, I found myself covering this track as well. 

All rights go to "Le Matos" and their incredible music.

I composed this warm and hopeful music for my cousin's short film called "Kayda Da Invada." The story is about Kayda, a curious alien who falls in love with Earth music and decides to leave his home from the stars behind. 

To me this music wraps the central core of the film. Which is trying to find purpose and belonging in an unknown world below.

Hope Will Return

This is a handcrafted, acapella cover of which I created all on my iPhone. The track I decided to cover is called "Save Your Tears" by "The Weekend."
 
Everything in this track was made by using household objects and human voices. To name a few, there's the beanie blanket I used for the hi-hat, the headphone case I used for the kick drum, the iPad cover case for the snare drum and the plastic bags as the crash cymbals. 
The result is this... Enjoy! 😄

Save Your Tears (Acapella Cover)

"Undaunted" acts much like a voyage in my mind. As if you're weaving your way through the crimson towers of ancient castles and up past treacherous mountains. Hoping for the day you reach your destination and come out victorious.

Undaunted

"You May Fall" was composed for a film script I've been working on for about six years now called "Help Us, We're Infants." It's a suite that to me feels like it illustrates the frightening choices we have in life and what those paths may lead us to. Dealing with our own inner monsters that can drown us if we don't try to stand up.

You May Fall

"Don't Hold on Tight" was written as if to hold my own hand about the fears of change. The music to me feels as if you were rocketing up into the vibrant clouds until, reaching the infinity of light above. It remains to be a very powerful piece of heartful music to me.

Don't Hold on Tight

It can take immense effort to try and make it over a mountain. Often we can feel like our own fears weigh us down. Though if we can step through that door once I know there is potential to make it out the other side. We just need a little courage in our hearts.

I composed this piece in dedication of a dear friend of mine Grace Kennedy. She is ambitious, knowledgeable, caring, talented and above all has the strength and patience to reach any mountain she desires to climb. Since, Grace is in color-guard I wanted to try and capture her adventurous, compassionate spirit in the score.

A Heart of Courage

At times we may feel unwanted and forgotten by those we value and look to for guidance. We may feel like we have been abandoned by others and perhaps by ourselves.

The theme of this score is about courageously facing fears as we draw from our inner strength and search for answers. It is a story about remembering to give compassion to ourselves along the way.

You Are Starlight

At times, we may feel lost and look to others for direction. This score is a passionate tale about embarking on an unknown path and seeking guidance. We are unique individuals and have the ability to overcome life’s obstacles and follow our own driving compass. This musical journey is meant to inspire the audience to become their own hero in a story only they can write.

Compass to the Sun
